内克尔岛正在为假期做准备!

Billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson, 73, has opened up his British Virgin Islands paradise to the public for the next two months. 

73岁的亿万富翁企业家理查德·布兰森将在未来两个月向公众开放他在英属维尔京群岛的天堂。

“This year, we’re inviting travelers from around the world to experience something very special to close out the year and celebrate 2023,” James Basson, the general manager of Necker Island, told Robb Report. “For the first time, we are offering guests the opportunity to book an individual room over selected dates during the festive season and have unique access to our beautiful private island.”

“今年，我们邀请来自世界各地的游客来体验一些非常特别的事情来结束这一年，庆祝2023年，”内克尔岛总经理詹姆斯·巴森告诉《罗布报告》。“我们首次为客人提供在节日期间选定日期预订单人房的机会，并以独特的方式进入我们美丽的私人岛屿。”

The 74-acre island had only been available to personal guests of the founder of the Virgin Group — or those who could reserve the entire island — before. But now the public has access to the individual rooms on the island.

这个占地74英亩的岛屿以前只对维珍集团创始人的私人客人开放，或者那些可以预订整个岛屿的人。但现在公众可以进入岛上的独立房间。

For the next two months, vacationers can reserve an individual room rather than the entire island. However, only 24 rooms are available. 

在接下来的两个月里，度假者可以预订一个单独的房间，而不是整个岛屿。然而，只有24个房间可用。

Beginning Nov. 18 through Nov. 25, and Dec. 11 through Dec. 26, individual rooms are now available for reservation. The November rates start at $5,400, while the December rates start at $5,850. 

从11月18日到25日，12月11日到26日，可以预订单人房。11月的价格为5400美元起，12月的价格为5850美元起。

“Necker operates most of the year for buyout only with only very select weeks of the year that guests can book an individual room,” Basson told Robb Report. “These weeks typically don’t fall over the festive season, but for this year, we are excited to offer travelers the most special festive season yet.”

巴森在接受《罗布报告》采访时表示:“Necker一年中的大部分时间都是全价经营，只有在一年中非常特定的几周，客人才能预订单人房。”“这几周通常不会出现在节日季节，但今年，我们很高兴为游客提供最特别的节日。”

The stay includes several accommodations including food, alcohol, the return boat and water sports, as well as child-friendly fun, per Robb Report. 

根据罗布报告，住宿包括食物、酒、回程船和水上运动，以及儿童友好的乐趣。

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Necker Island is implementing no-travel days. In lieu of the no-travel days, the island has arranged a special Christmas itinerary, featuring a Christmas-themed night with a visit from Santa Claus, an after-party with a DJ and an event titled “Get Grinched Beach Olympics.”

在平安夜和圣诞节当天，内克尔岛实行禁行日。为了代替不旅行的日子，岛上安排了一个特别的圣诞行程，其中包括圣诞主题之夜，圣诞老人来访，会后有DJ的派对，以及名为“Get grched Beach Olympics”的活动。

Branson purchased the land in 1978 when he was just 29 years old. In 2007, he purchased an additional island, Moskito Island, and has developed 11 villas on the island for vacationers.

1978年，年仅29岁的布兰森买下了这块地。2007年，他又购买了一座名为莫斯科岛(Moskito island)的岛屿，并在岛上为度假者开发了11栋别墅。

The billionaire businessman opened up Moskito Island to the public in 2021. The 125-acre private paradise resides 2 miles away from the billionaire’s private island amongst the British Virgin Islands.

这位亿万富翁商人于2021年向公众开放了莫斯科岛。这个125英亩的私人天堂位于英属维尔京群岛中，距离这位亿万富翁的私人岛屿2英里远。
